Experience the Seoul Wine house where you make your own wine

📍Sanhai Shochu

15, 9, Samcheong-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul
Every day from 10:00 to 18:00

Samhae wine (삼해주) is a representative domestic wine of Seoul with a history of more than 1,000 years and is listed as an intangible cultural property. From the first day of the first month of the year, every day of the year (12 days apart) brewing once, after three times of brewing, so called "Sanhai wine". A workshop run by Kim Taek-sang, the technical owner of Samhae Wine, Intangible Cultural Property No. 8 in Seoul, offers tasting and brewing experiences of Samhae Soju, medicinal wine and Magri wine.

Here you can taste Sanhai Shochu, medicinal wine, and Magri wine, and you can also brew Sanhai Shochu yourself. The experience is divided into short-term and two-month courses. The short course includes a 50-minute lecture on traditional Korean wine, making and tasting activities. The 120-minute experience allows you to experience the distillation process of Sanhai Shochu.

At Samhae Soju-ga, you can appreciate Kanazawa's dedication to wine making. He believes that the most important thing when making wine is the "joy of the heart", only the brewer is happy, the wine is good enough. And when he loaded the wine into the altar, he did not forget to pray silently in his heart. Perhaps it is because of the craftsmen who have such a thoughtful wine that Sanhai wine can be passed on for hundreds of years and become a traditional old bar in Seoul.

📍신사전
The address is 서울 강남구 도산대로11길 18 신사전

Seoul food search time! Today, I want to give you a super hot honey rice hotel 신사전, where not only sweet honey, but also delicious rice wine and delicious pancake platters, it is a paradise for food lovers!
Honey is super sweet and can be eaten directly or soaked in rice wine for added flavor. Moreover, there is a little fun here, there is a small bug is also stealing to eat honey, add a lot of fun haha! Rice wine does not have a high alcohol concentration and the sweetness of honey makes it easy for even those who are not good at drinking.

I drank three or four cups with my friends, feeling very good, not too much, I suggest calling a few friends to share oh. The pancake platter is large enough for two. Especially the fish Patty and shrimp, delicious, we two people eat clean, super satisfied! We also ordered a bottle of Coke, but when we checked out, we said it was free. This little surprise made our feelings for the store skyrocket!
